New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram made a lengthy appearance on the Rich Eisen Show, interviewing with guest hosts John Kuhn (his former teammate) and Mike Heller. Ingram touched on a broad range of topics including the Saints’ recent traumatic playoff exits, his offseason plans, his friendship with ‘little bro’ Alvin Kamara, and how contract negotiations are going — barring a new deal, he will become a free agent on March 13.
When asked how talks are progressing on a new contract, Ingram was optimistic: “Man, so I’ve been talking to the Saints and you know, it’s kind of like a thing where they say they want me back, I say I want to be back, and can we compromise, you know, on the value?
